Every team has a bit more practice.
Every team has SOME technical difficulty.
Every team gets hit by a bad call.
This happens at every regional, every championship event, and every offseason.

We use statistics to try and factor these things out. I dont want to look at 85 paragraphs for each team in the division when I'm down in the pits trying to run strategies. I want to look at a concise page with the vital information I need to assemble a winning strategy. This is what seperates good teams from great teams. For example, look at the triplets. All of the teams have the exact same robot, but 1114 has gone above and beyond in their scouting, strategizing, and utlization of driver practice time. All of these efforts are more than apparent on the field.

So, I must agree to disagree on your point. With the short nature of these events, I am willing to take any steps I can to alleviate the stress and pressure of preparing for matches. The easiest and most effective way to do this for the Championship event is pre-competition scouting, with statistics.

Nothing beats it. Hands down. Period. The End. Nothing's better.
